Those who are afraid of the thorns will never be able to pick the roses!

This is my all time favorite quote.  I first heard it when I was 16 and still live my life by it.  I shared it to anyone any chance I can.  Sadly, I do not even know who coined the phrase but who ever it was, thank you!  Your quote has shaped my life and my decisions in business to go for it!  To stick my neck out and try something most people only dream of, start your own business!  Well for me at least, the roses in my life would be to one day have a successful, thriving business. Everyone that wants to start a business should go for it!

Now aside from sharing with you a great quote, I do have a reason why I am sharing this with you.  The whole reason for this website is to share and hopefully help people like me, struggling owners.

In my time in working as an employee for a growing company, I’ve started several small businesses with the dream of creating a company that can provide for my family but also provide for the employees and its customers with income but, more importantly, with opportunities to learn and help others.  That is my dream.  That is what I am still working towards.

My goal for this website is to help other struggling owners with knowledge that I’ve gained and shared.  To provide insight on tools that can help make life easier or even just to cut through the massive amounts of information to learn how to get things done.  I hope that my posts on potentially any business or professional topic will help small business owners some way to either get more business, learn how to efficiently do more or stay motivated.  Additionally, I hope this website can be a resource but also a place to interact with liked minded people.

My name is Guy Pineda and, like many, I am a struggling owner!
